Wedding Banned

The Story: Skip the ceremony, start the party! Wedding Banned formed in Gas City Indiana. After being dubbed, “too wild and crazy,” by their hometown, the Banned hit the road looking for gigs. “The Greatest Wedding Banned on Earth.” Wedding Banned plays 80’s and 90’s music along with other guilty pleasures that take you back to great times in your life. Wedding Banned selects a bride and groom to get “married” on stage at most shows, but it's all party and no commitment. Hailing from Chicago, via Gas City Indiana, Wedding Banned has a unique show that combines music and audience interaction. Wedding Banned plays over 100 club shows, weddings, corporate events and festivals a year. If you want to have one of those, “you should have been there” nights, come and see Wedding Banned!
